International fashion designer and producer Boy Lizaso celebrated his 73rd birthday in style with the show-stopping “Emerald Ball Goes Bal Masque” last October 6, 2022, in Manila Hotel.

It also honored trailblazing Filipinas at the helm of environmentally and socially-responsible ventures as “Emerald Queens of the Universe”, “Outstanding Women of Style / Influencer”, and “Community Civic Leader”.

Among the recipients was Ms. Jenny Lin Ngai, President and Co-Founder of SunSmart Solar Power Technology, Inc. (SSPTI), an all-renewable energy company dedicated to providing innovative renewable and sustainable solutions.

“To celebrate Boy and his wonderful creations, and to be recognized for the work we do at SunSmart, is the very best kind of thrill,” said Ms. Ngai, who was represented at the gala by Anne Barker and Bianca Hernandez, SunSmart Queens, and Miguel De la Rosa, President and Founder of Mplify Marketing.

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announced the launch of the UNIQLO and MARNI collection, its first collaboration with the Italian luxury fashion brand. This long-awaited collaboration with MARNI has produced a collection that is bold and brimming with playfulness, in a distinctively MARNI style. UNIQLO LifeWear typified by smart designs and technical expertise and the MARNI aesthetic characterized by unique shapes and colorful prints have been brought together in a wardrobe that is fresh and new, and can be enjoyed by everyone as everyday wear.

Francesco Risso, Creative Director at MARNI, said, “I’ve been hugely excited about this collaboration since the start. Throughout the whole process we have always championed Uniqlo’s ethos and the integrity that lies behind the brand’s vision, giving our interpretation of Uniqlo’s LifeWear through a slightly out-of-the-box proposition that combines impeccably crafted clothes with MARNI’s offbeat and life-embracing spirit. I really hope that wearers feel good, that they feel themselves, that they feel free.”

Colors and Prints

The staple items characteristic of UNIQLO provide a blank canvas for the distinctive use of color that is synonymous with MARNI, along with pop-style, warm graphic prints created especially for this collection presented in larger and smaller iterations in an arresting play on proportions. In contrast to monochromes and patterns, the added twist provided by relaxed silhouettes and bold balloon volume updates staples for everyday use. Building on the theme of “universality,” this is a lineup concealing unlimited possibilities that seems to draw out optimism in the everyday.

Style and Design

The beautiful proposition created through relaxed yet considered silhouettes, such as a dynamic cocoon silhouette BLOCKTECH coat, and pajama set with a drape that seems to flow, can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages. The Balloon Skirt in the WOMENS line features diagonal pleating that give it a light and volume-enhancing look and can be matched with a sleeveless blouse in the same color palette for a coordinated look. The MENS line includes a tailored jacket and pants with a distinctively MARNI touch. The lineup of gingham prints and solid colors is styled in an effortless silhouette perfectly suited for the current trend toward exquisite ease. The pocketable parka in a supple nylon material is an all-purpose item that pairs well with swim shorts for an active and stylish summer.
